That's Right
[Nas]
Journey Through the life of some real n____s
[Puffy]
Some real n____s, You'll never see what I've seen

[Puffy]
When I sleep I dream of bodies in streams of blood
Naked b____es, dead n____'s ghost, Feds with toast
Knockin' my door down sweat poor down my body
Roast from the heat so I soak my sheets
Wake up shiverin', pull my hoe close to me, she s__y
Every night is different p____ since my girl left me
And I tried to make her stay with me, but I stay busy
And her friends are cut-throats, they deep throat to lay with me
I reminisce how I miss a stare in this s___e
Resort to the lips of a stripper, sprayin' their face
Lampin' in a mansion, home alone
I hold a fifth, wonderin' if ten shots can stop spirits
If n____'s try to rob me then I won't hear it
Cause it's different from the streets, I'm missin' my hood now
Missin' all the blocks cuz I'm surrounded by woods now
It's supposed to be good now
It's like I'm walkin' tight rope and can't look down
Fire below me
Now the fantasies I have for women are unholy
Success, thousand dollar bottles impress
Models with fat a__ and big b______
Floor seats, Knicks vs. Nets, private jets
Millionaire heir to Antigua, with Ananda, the MTV diva
Nas, how do we survive all this mess? (I didn't survive)
East vs. West the rap game where words became flesh
A whole pound of herb won't desolve my stress
Still I ride to the death, love hip-hop
Cause Afrikabababa was def, a lot of respect
Feel Me? f___ to the rock Sean John jury
I got the same hands of c___ platinum and the c___ pyramids
Write about the black experience, sell it to Marimax
Tell me if you feelin' that

[1] - [Lil' Kim & Joe Hooker]
Take a journey through the life of these real n____s
The things that they seen it would thrill n____s
If you've seen what they've seen, you would wonder
Through the rain and the pain and the thunder
By the time that you realized that it's goin' down
You may find yourself going underground
When they see that this life is upon us
We would see that there's no one that we can trust

[Beanie Sigel]
You can never see what I see, m_________er
Beanie Sigel, the realest n____ from the streets was taught
Stay cased up n____, stay deep in court
Reminiscin' on that cold cell, deep in thought
Gettin' skinny, couldn't eat, cause the meat was poor
Ya'll n____s couldn't live my life, I've been through it
Streached up in hospital beds, fed fluid
Two bullets hit my leg, one passed through it
Saw the blood and the hole in my calf, looked through it
My life's no joke, I don' played dice with soap
Upstate the case n____s slice your throat
Wear your boxers in the shower when you gaurd your soap
I done seen the biggest n____'s in the yard get broke
I done took blocks through war, took blocks for fall
Took blocks to Wall for box of raw
What you think 33 in the glock is for?
Black fatigues, skullies and binoculars,
C4, block your doors, n____'s can't stop this war
I show you f__gots what this Swatz' is for
Hidding spots in the door for the glocks is for
Read the papers, '94 I took the cops to war
Half of ya'll n____s livin' a lie
Only reason you switchin' up your droid is cause you keep gettin' robbed
I looked that n____ in the eyes before I send him to God
Beanie Sigel, desert eagle, the realest n____ alive

[Repeat 1]

[Nas]
Aiyo, Aiyo, Gansta, Gansta
The Bible has words that Christ wrote, evil men sacrifice goats
I speak all my life under oath
Since a kid, troublesome
Thrownin' s___ at little girls jump ropes
Bustin' B-B Guns at stray cats, that was way back
Watched it die, covered in flies
Then I picked up a stick, try to dig in it's eyes
Makin' dirt pies, na, being buggy-eyed s___
And every other n____ that rap, sound like my s___
I wear chrome 45's with ice on the grip
I don't shoot it, I roll with killers and criminals
With heroin habits they picked up from the penile
They let you have it, all I do is give them a smile
Lifestlyes of the realest, you ain't ruthless you b____
I got a pine box just your size, I know it'll fit
Your whole life's a mistake, stop holdin' the pen
Kill yourself, come back as a man over again
Cause in this lifetime I'm reignin', slay men
Leave your whole body cold
Your nails grow long, you get gray skin
May this n____ rest in peace, Amen
I run with brave men, straight out the housin', we wildin'
Names engraved in the pavement
Brick building, grown ladies jump off the roof
n____ get paged, then murdered at the phonebooth
New York streets made me n____, it's crazy n____
